My Favorite Car —
I love New Beetles. My first one was the 1998 model and it was white. My husband wanted to to get the new body style, but I don't like it. Nice for small family and pets. The trunk hold much more than you would imagine.

An Awesome Convertible For A Great Price —
What sold me on this car was the looks of it especially in white, and cool it looks. It turned my head each and every time I saw one on the street. It has never been in the shop, well actually to put nitrogen in the tires. :)) The gas mileage is fantactic for being a 5 cylinder and therefore it performance wise it keeps up in traffic and especially on the highway.
I have had convertible Mercedes , Porsches, BMW, JEEPS, all my life and what this car has that blows all these cars out of the water is the upgrades and expecially the stereo and the sounds that it produces, when the top is down. its Amazing.

Pros:
adorable, economical, all up grades found in luxury cars, fuel efficient, great pick-up.

Cons:
Too small for a surf board and several kids. CARPOOLING IS HORRIBLE, eventhough the children think like squeezing into their favorite car.

Beatle To Beat The Traffic —
I own a Beetle convertible and I just love driving it and being in it! It's a very original design in itself, and the fact that VW factory is not going to build Beetle cars anymore, that is not bothering me at all: it actually means that I am the few lucky ones who got it !

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros:
Extremely roomy despite it's a two door! Good gas mileage, great city car!

It is way less roomie and I felt cramped in the car. It is also a 2 door so getting in the back seat is a challenge.

Cargo CapacityRanked 2010 Kia Soul + better.

"The back seats fold down in the 2010 Kia Soul so there is a ton of storage space. there is also storage under the floor in the trunk. It is also a 4 door and sits up higher then most cars so it is very easy to get in and out of the car."

Would BuyRanked 2010 Kia Soul + better.

"I would buy the 2010 Kia Soul every time because it is a little care with a ton of room. Also the sound system is amazing. The windshield sits straighter so it is easier to see all surrounding. This care ruins all other cars in terms of space and comfortability."

After test driving the 2010 Beetle 2.5 I bought the car and I am loving it. It feels good handling it on the highway; has awesome turbo pickup and the radio system is terrific.

"I love everything about the Beetle - the leather seats, power moon roof, the handling of the car, and it is very roomy for a small vehicle and overall it felt more expensive than the Fiat 500 Pop that I drove "

A Fun Little Car To Play In!By sunflowergal

This car is great for a single person or couple but the back seat will not accommodate a car seat and growing toddler. The car is not made to carry any cargo. It would be perfect for a second car!
